Mendoza's Ask More Ideas Challenge

Mendoza’s Ideas Challenge

2.
Mendoza Ideas Challenge
• One month long challenge
• Goal: To leverage the collective brainpower of the alumni
base to create a lasting social impact on a societal issue
• Provide an opportunity for alumni as individuals or as a
group to submit ideas to solve a societal challenge
• Hope to run one challenge with different focus, each year

3.
This year’s challenge – Reducing your carbon footprint
• Will run from May 15 to June 15
• How can we work to reduce our own carbon footprint in
the workplace and help our companies reduce their
carbon footprints?
• Please share your ideas on technologies, processes,
policies and products that can create a more eco-friendly
office! Your idea can be something your company already
does, or a new, bold idea not yet seen in the marketplace.
Big ideas, small ideas and everything in between are
welcome.
